The Name of Trabzonspor Akyazı Stadium and the Şenol Güneş Debate

Writer Hasan Al criticized Şenol Güneş for positioning himself not as a figure belonging to a specific club, but as a 'common value' accepted by all fans, and stated that the name of the Trabzonspor Akyazı Stadium should be changed to something more in line with the club's values.

Hasan Al evaluated Şenol Güneş's statements expressing that he holds a neutral position between clubs like Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor. Al stated that Güneş defining himself as a 'common value' contradicts the expectation of Trabzonspor fans to see him solely as their own legend, and noted that this situation has brought the stadium naming debate back to the agenda.

Evaluation: The author recalls that the stadium's name was determined by the administration of that period, arguing that the fans' preference would lean towards names like Şamil Ekinci, Ahmet Suat Özyazıcı, or Özkan Sümer. Al expresses the view that the name of Şamil Ekinci, whom he describes as the architect of the 'Anatolian Revolution' with four championships, would be more appropriate for the stadium.
